Yes, we will need to use shell and homedir too (to support unix and linux shell
logins for some users)
So to be clear, corp assigns uid and we must have Samba use these assignments
Some of these uid are even, unfortunately, below 1000 currently
Thanks,

Are you going to be using more of the rfc2307 attributes than
'uidNumber' and 'gidNumber' ?
If not, then I suggest you totally ignore them, use one of the domains
as your main domain and add a trust for the other, then use either the
'autorid' or 'rid' idmap backend.
